Sunday on FNC’s “Fox News Live,” Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) emphasized the importance of doing everything possible to “allow the Ukrainians freedom and democracy.”
Ernst called Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression “absolutely unacceptable.” She added that the United States needs to do more to provide lethal aid to the Ukrainians,” including cutting off Russia’s energy sources.
“[T]his is heartbreaking, Bret,” Ernst said in response to Putin ordering his country’s nuclear forces to be on high alert. “And as I’ve asked point to many viewers before, I spent some time in Ukraine while it was part of the Soviet Union in 1989. And what I learned from the Ukrainians at that point was that they wanted to be free; that remains true today. Ukrainians want to be free.”
“And what we see, this aggression shown by Russia, by Vladimir Putin — it is absolutely unacceptable, and it should be unacceptable across the world stage,” she continued. “We have to do more to provide lethal aid to the Ukrainians. We need to cut off Russian energy sources, we need to become energy independent, and we need to make sure we are doing absolutely everything we can to allow the Ukrainians freedom and democracy.”

I am trying to do that faster these days.
Accept correction and move on.
Yup. Freakin’ bizzaroo world. Twilight zone crap. At my age I didn’t think much would surprise me any more. WRONG!
Agreed
We have enough oil/gas to supply us ,UK and Europe at pre Biden prices. I miss Trump.
Any comment on Matthew Perna, Joni?
Need more proof that we send our best and brightest to Congress?
We need to unhandcuff domestic energy production Joni and ramp that back up immediately!
“All of these financial bullets are hitting good Russian people who are not complicit in Putin’s idiotic invasion anymore than good Americans are complicit in Biden’s idiotic actions.
There are so many contradictory things in all these events, I am conflicted about Russia. Knowing that the Ucraine once belonged to Russia and was divided after WWII makes me wonder how we would feel if part of America was taken from us by the EU and claim it as belonging to Europe? I can see the Russian point of view.
It’s more like 4 million a day and we can’t ramp up for that anytime soon, say 18 months to 2 years, if ever. So we buy from who, the Saudi’s, who finance terrorism.
We were never truly energy independent.
Joni Ernst = RINO ignoramus who emotes her way through life, fact-free. Russia is a net energy EXPORTER, dim bulb.
